That's my engine in Hot Rod.
I think you are being a little sensitive - - I felt that they gave the buildup more than fair coverage. After all - the last FE was produced something like 28 years ago - - terms like "antique and dinosaur" are badges of honor when we still tear up the strip, and the competition. And.....dinosaur's have really sharp teeth!

The did give credit to Dove for the rocker shafts. I already owned the intake (we added the EFI stuff to my prior motor a year ago). I also already owned the throttle body - - what am I supposed to do - - throw them away?? They cost me mucho dinero and they work quite well.

The "all new" context was meant to point out that the engine has only five O.E. Ford parts on it: the two rocker covers, the timing cover, the crank spacer, and the cam thrust plate. All could have been replaced with aftermarket stuff if I felt like doing so.

Anyhow - - if anyone has any questions I'd be pleased to answer them to the best of my ability. A lot of what we did is pretty common knowledge to the sharp guys on this board - - but we did try a few oddball ideas - - just because we could.

Thanks,
Barry R.
